Although it is a foundational
confession for all Christians, much of
the theological significance of Jesusís
identity as ďthe Son of GodĒ is often
overlooked or misunderstood. Moreover,
this Christological concept stands at
the center of todayís Bible translation
debates and increased ministry efforts
to Muslims. New Testament scholar D. A.
Carson sheds light on this important
issue with his usual exegetical clarity
and theological insight, first by
broadly surveying Jesusís biblical name
as ďthe Son of God," and then by
focusing on two key texts that speak of
Christís sonship. The book concludes
with the implications of Jesusís divine
sonship for how modern Christians think
and speak about Christ, especially in
relation to Bible translation and
missionary engagement with Muslims
across the globe.
